How to Add Shipping Information to Google Search Snippets Using WordPress

Would you like to know how to add shipping information to Google search snippets using WordPress?

Having your shipping information displayed on search engine results pages (SERPs) is a powerful way to boost conversion rates and drive sales. 

In this article, we’ll show you how to add shipping information to your product rich snippets using WordPress. This will help you display shipping details in your search snippets.

What are Product Rich Snippets?

Rich snippets are the interactive results Google displays in search. 

These include additional information, such as product images, star ratings, reviews, prices, etc. The purpose of rich snippets is to answer users’ questions immediately by showing as much information as possible straight from the search results.

Product rich snippets, therefore, are snippets that specifically give users more information about your product right on SERPs. Another invaluable piece of information you can add to your product rich snippets is shipping details. We’ll show you how to do that in a moment.

For more detailed information about product rich snippets and how to add them in WordPress, check out this easy-to-follow guide.

Why Adding Shipping Information to Product Rich Snippets is Important

Adding shipping information to your search snippets greatly impacts your business's growth. Some reasons for this include the following:

• Increases conversions: Displaying shipping information on your product snippets encourages more clickthrough rates (CTRs) as shoppers know the product will reach them.
• Reduces cart abandonment: 55% of shoppers abandon carts because of surprise costs, like shipping, at checkout. Displaying shipping information on SERPs is an excellent way to combat cart abandonment. 
• Increases your average order value (AOV): Clear shipping information encourages shoppers to add more products to their cart. This results in increased AOV.

As you can see, shipping plays a huge role in ecommerce conversion rate optimization, helping you drive more sales. That’s why displaying it on SERPs is something you should strongly consider doing.

Step 2: Add Product Schema

Once you’ve installed and activated AIOSEO, the next step to adding shipping information to your search snippets is to add product schema to your page or post. To do that, you must first open the page in editor mode. 

Next, scroll down to the AIOSEO Settings » Schema. 

If the schema type on that page is not set to Product, click on the Generate Schema button. Doing so will open up our Schema Catalog, a modal from which you can select and add product schema markup.  

Step 3: Edit Product Schema to Add Shipping Information

The next step to adding shipping information to your search snippets is to fill in (or edit) your product information. 

To get started, click the edit button as shown below:

This will open a modal with fields for all the relevant product details needed to generate product schema.

To add your shipping information, scroll down until you find the Shipping Destinations section. 

Fill in all the fields to add information about a shipping destination you support:

• Country
• States
• Postal Code
• Price

AIOSEO will generate schema markup using this information, which will be output in the form of rich snippets on SERPs. Here’s an example below:

Notice the “Free 6-10 day delivery” in the snippet. Shipping information like this makes a huge difference in increasing your CTR.

You can add other destinations by clicking on the Add Another Shipping Destination link.

If you’re a WooCommerce user, then you’ll be glad to know AIOSEO supports WooCommerce shipping out of the box! This means fewer changes you need to make. 

Once you’ve added all the shipping destinations you support, click the Update Schema button.

And that’s it!
